He was hungry so he decided to 1 for a meal at the next house.2 , he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water.

He was about to give up and quit before this point.Years later the young woman became seriously ill. The local doctors were puzzled. They finally sent her to the big city, where 8 can be called in to study her rare disease. Dr. Howard Kelly, now 9 , was called in for the consultation.

Our mystery(神秘) artist is our new student ---- Suzy Khan!”Mr. Brown thanked her for all the wonderful posters and gave her a professional artist’s set. “Thank you,” she cried.I 18 , at that time when I was looking at her excited face, she’d probably never 19 anything in her whole life.Everyone started to 20 their hands.

Kimberly has been the object of an angry custody battle between the man who 42 her and her biological parents, with whom she has never 43 . A Florida judge decided that the teenager can 44 with the only father she has ever known and that her biological parents have no legal right on her.Shortly after 45 in December 1978, Kimberly Mays and another baby were 46 switched（调换）and sent home with the 47 parents.

Those right were ended when Mr. Mays decided that Kimberly was being 52 .The decision to leave Kimberly 53 Mr. Mays caused heated discussion. But the judge made clear that Kimberly did have the right to sue（起诉）on her own behalf. Thus he made clear that she was 54 a personal possession of her parents.

I stared down at my sweat covered, 37 hands.I looked up again at the audience, realizing that these were 38 people. They were not just my mum and dad, who 39 say, "Good job!" even if I messed up the entire piece.What if I had the wrong music? What if I played the wrong notes?As it 40, I was never able to answer these questions because the spotlight was 41 for me. I grasped my hands tightly together, drying off the sweat.Slowly I walked to the mulberry piano in the 42 of the room. It contained 88 demanding keys, which were waiting impatiently to be played．I swallowed the golfball-sized lump（隆起的） in my throat and sat down. 43, I opened the music．Next, I rested my still shaking hands on the ivory keys.As my fingers played across the keys, I was becoming more 44 of my preparation for this moment. But the memory of my year of training came flooding back. I knew that I had practiced this piece 45 that I could play it backwards if 46 .Although at one point I accidentally played two keys 47 the intended one, I continued to move my fingers automatically （自动的）.My eyes burned holes into the page in front of me.There was no 48 that I was going to lose my concentration.

This is not always easy to 36 as their behavior can sometimes be irritating (令人恼怒的).

You should always 40 old people to do as much as possible for themselves but be ready to 41 a helping hand when necessary .Failing memory makes it 42 for the elderly to recall all the basic kinds of information we 43 for granted . The obvious way to help in this 44 is to supply the information that is missing and help them make 45 of what is going on . You must use every opportunity to provide information , 46 remember to keep it simple and easy to understand .When the elderly person makes 47 statements about going out to his or her old 48 or visitinga dead relative , 49 in a calm matter-of-fact fashion : “You are retired now . Will you come and help mewith the dishes ?”We depend 50 on the information provided by signposts , clocks , calendars and newspapers .These assist us to 51 and direct our behavior . Confused old people need these 52 all the time to compensate (弥补) for their memory . Encourage them to use 53 boards or diaries for important 54 events and label the contents of different cupboards and drawers . Many other aids such as information cards , 55 photos , notes , addresses or shopping lists could help in individual case .36．A．provide B．protect C．discover D．examine37．A．happy B．easy C．excited D．comfortable38．A．As a result B．Even C．For D．Although39．A．patient B．protective C．ready D．helpful40．A．tell B．encourage C．warn D．permit41．A．carry B．make C．lend D．offer42．A．necessary B．difficult C．terrible D．impossible43．A．make B．give C．think D．take44．A．condition B．situation C．action D．position45．A．sense B．use C．light D．fun46．A．do B．or C．however D．but47．A．obvious B．strange C．confused D．fixed48．A．factory B．hospital C．school D．employment49．A．correct B．repeat C．check D．care50．A．hardly B．heavily C．totally D．simply51．A．collect B．form C．keep D．organize 52．A．information B．advice C．aids D．materials53．A．reminder B．flat C．recovery D．wood54．A．improving B．coming C．moving D．exciting55．A．beautiful B．unforgettable C．nice D．old6While in the army there was nothing I dislike so much as the map-reading course，for thesimple reason that I always feel 36 even with a map in my hand．For weeks I had 37 awake at night thinking of the 38 test I would have to face at the end of the course. 39 the evil day arrived．It was my responsibility to lead a small band of soldiers back to camp from the middle of40 .We were driven out in a(n) 41 lorry and left in a ploughed field with 42 to get back to camp as quickly as possible.Well knowing my 43 ，the soldiers smiled as they saw me looking at the map and they made a11 sorts of helpful suggestions.

So I started to walk towards the garbage can 40 I noticed a poor man walking his bike out of the restaurant in front of us. He _41 a paper bag with his dirty hand.

I knew this man would take all he could 45 , so I walked up to him and 46 the drink and some snacks to him.

I felt like I 50 be happier with myself, but then he said, “This is my son’s lucky day!”With that, he 51 me happily and started off on his bike. I even heard him 52 a song as he rode away.I got a warm feeling inside and I knew I had done something good, for the man and his family.

Why do Americans express such feelings in a 20 place?I thought the movie would be good for my English, but 21 it turned out, it was an 22 movie. After about an hour I decided to give up the movie and 23 my popcorn (爆米花). I’ve never understood why they give you so much popcorn! It tasted pretty good, 24.After a while I heard 25 more of the romantic-sounding Italians. I just heard the 26 of the popcorn crunching (嘎扎的响声) between my teeth. My thought started to 27 .

He seemed like a good friend to me 29 I saw him again in New York speaking 30 English instead of perfect Korean. He didn’t even have a Korean accent and I 31 like I had been cheated. When our family moved to the United States six years ago, none of us spoke any English. 32 we had begun to learn a few words, my mother suggested that we all should speak English at home. Everyone agreed, but our house became very 33 and we all seemed to avoid each other. We sat at the dinner table in silence, 34 that to speaking the difficult language.

My mother had to stay behind to 25 the cows from getting into the crops. I, the fourth in a line of brothers, was the first to 26 college.The truck was slow and I was glad. I didn’t want to get to 27 too soon. I shook hands with my father in the truck and he didn’t say a word. But I knew he was going to make a little 28 . He finally said,“I never went to college and 29 of your brothers went to college. I can’t say you don’t do this or that, because everything is different and I don’t know what is going to 30 , but I think things will work out. When you get a job, be sure to be 31 and work hard.”I knew that soon I would be 32 in the big town and I would be missing the life of the family.Then my father brought out the Bible that he had 33 so often. I knew that he would miss it but I must take it. He just said，“This can help you 34 you will let it.”When I finished school I took the Bible back to my father. But he said he wanted me to 35 it.Now, too late, I remember. It would have been so 36 to give it to my daughter when she got out of the car. But I didn’t.

I’m sitting here，watching the movements of my existence pass slowly away. My house has been 1 for such a long time，and I’m lonely and forgotten. Sitting here, by myself, all that I can do is 2 and th i nk about my past. I could tell you stories that only 3 would know. But walls can’t speak.I came to this place many years ago，along with an old man…. 4 , he was with me for on1y three short years before he passed o n….For a time，I was left alone，while people came and 5 t he house…. Then，one day a nice couple moved in with a young son. 6 , the i r son Danny liked to stay with me，and I was completely 7 with him. He always looked as if he loved the stories I told，most of which began with. ‘‘Back i n my day…”and ‘‘When I was 8 .…”I sometimes had the kind of idea that he didn’t really understand what I was saying，but it felt good to be 9 ． When Danny went off to college, my heart broke. Soon afterward, 10 sold the house.…New owners came and 11 . Then，One day it so happened that I was in when a new family was moving into the house. You can’t even imagine my 12 when，unexpectedly, Danny walked through the front door. He had a 13 and kids now. I was so overjoyed when I saw him that I put all my 14 into my daily activities. ... I spent the next twenty years watching his kids grow up, with a mixture of pride and 15 about what would happen next.The kids finally became 16 and Danny sold the house. That was about five years ago…. Some of the local kids ha v e started the rumor that the house is haunted (闹鬼的)--- and，in a way，it is. It is haunted by 17 of all the people who have lived in it. Every second has 18 me so much. I have been 19 them down and they are almost up for me.... I hope that someday somebody will 20 me, and drop in on me again. Maybe then I’ll get a new home and an opportunity for a whole new set of memories.1. A. crowded B. empty C. painted D. sold2. A. look back B. enjoy food C. have a dream D. chat with friends3.

I could not 2 the habit I had at home , so I fell asleep right at my 3 . I woke up to find myself not in the classroom but carried on Dad’s back. We were 4 home. It was the last time I felt 5 to him.After that, he never carried me or hugged me as other fathers did to their children. I was not bothered much by this 6 . I was proud of it, for I felt 7 and “grown up.” However, there were times when I felt depressed by not having sought 8 from him.One day, I was writing Chinese characters as homework. I hated doing this more than anything. Dad came and stood behind me for a moment, 9 me scratching (乱吐，勾抹) the paper. Then he said,“This kind of writing needs10 .Your writing is not strong enough. Press harder.”I follow his 11 for the next two words, but 12 I could see little improvement, I followed my own method-the13 way. His advice did not improve my writing but our 14 . As I grew older, I found out that he had finished his 15 in Grade 6, which was the highest grade in town then, so he was considered to be a 6 . People used to ask him to write something to put on the walls, but he never felt very useful.He often said to me, “As you can see, this family is going to count on you. We are 17 to improve you anything for your future .Your have to get 8 to change the life for yourself.”As a result of his 19 , I have 20 it through high school and through college.1.

I normally do not 6 it is Friday and I am on my way to prayers. 7 I sense an uneasiness in the carriage. People are 8 . No one is speaking and it must be said that no one is being 9 unfriendly towards me. But I think the 10 I get are different.I am being checked out, sized up. It is all a bit uncomfortable.People are looking around for things and people 11 look suspicious (可疑的). I am doing it a bit 12 and in the coming days, as more claims are made about the people who did this and their aims, that feeling is likely to get 13 . As you look around the 14 , it is difficult to know what people are thinking. Some are 15 thinking “those Muslims come here and look what they do" but they 16 understand we condemn (谴责) this like everyone else.Whoever did this didn't 17 about who was killed or whether they were Christian or Muslim. They just had no respect 18 human life at all. We all travel around London and we use public transport. We have as much fear as anyone else about 19 in something.

For a moment, I thought he might be 3 ,but I could tell from the expression on his face that he was not. He was 4 . I felt like saying that it was ridiculous (可笑的) to 5 that out of all the millions of people in Chicago I could possibly have ever bumped into his friend. But, 6 , I just smiled and reminded him that Chicago was a very 7 city. He nodded, and I thought he was going to be content to drop the subject and talk about something else. But I was wrong. He was silent for a few minutes, and then he 8 to tell me all about his friend.His friend’s main 9 in life seemed to be tennis. He was an excellent tennis player , and he 10 had his own tennis court. There were a lot of people with swimming 11 , yet there were only two people with private tennis court; his friend in Chicago was one of them. I told him that I knew several 12 like that, including my brother, who was doctor in California. He 13 that maybe there were more private courts in the country, than he 14 but he did not know of any others. Then he asked me 15 my brother lived in California. When I said Sacramento, he said that was a coincidence 16 his Chicago friend spent the summer in Sacramento last year and he lived next door to a 17 who had a tennis court in his backyard. I said I felt that really was a coincidence (巧合) because my next-door neighbour had gone to Sacramento last summer and had 18 the house next to my broth er’s house. For a moment, we stared at each other, but we did not say anything.“Would your friend’s name happen to be Roland Kirkwood?” I asked finally. He 19 and said, “Yes.

On the steps of one building, a group of engineering seniors gathered, discussing the exam due to begin in a few 1 . On their faces was confidence (自信). This was their last exam — then on to 2 and jobs.Some talked of jobs they already had; others talked of jobs they 3 get. With the certainty of four years of college, they felt ready and able to take 4 of the world.The coming exam, they knew, would be a(n) 5 task. The professor had said they could bring 6 books or notes they wanted, requesting only that they did not 7 each other, during the test.8 they entered the classroom. The professor passed out the papers. And smiles 9 on the students’ faces as they noted there were only five essay-type questions.Three hours had passed 10 the professor began to collect the papers. The students no longer looked confident. On their faces was a frightened expression. Papers in hand, no one spoke as the professor faced the class.He looked at the 11 faces before him, and then asked, “How many completed all five questions?” 12 a hand was raised.“How many answered four?” Still no hands.“Three? Two?” The students moved restlessly in their seats.“One, then? Certainly somebody finished 13 .”But the class remained silent.The professor put down the papers. “That is exact ly what I 14 ,” he said. “I just want to impress upon you that, 15 you have completed four years of engineering, there are still many things about the 61 you don’t know. These questions you couldn’t answer are relatively 17 in everyday practice. ”Then smiling, he added, “You will all 18 this course, but remember — even though you are now college graduates, your education has just 19 .”The years have 20 the name of this professor, but not the lesson he taught.1.

On this day, 5 , her conversation was worth listening to.“My father’s sick,” she said to no one in 6 . 1 could see the anxiety and fear in her eyes. With a sudden change of attitude and interest, I asked, “What’s wrong with him?”With her eyes wet and her voice tight from 7 the tears, she responded, “Heart trouble.” Her eyes 8 as she continued. “I’ve already lost my mu m, so I don’t think I can 9 losing him.”I couldn’t respond. 1 was 10 My heart ached for her.

Our father was a struggling 1 , but I always knew he was 2 . He never criticized us, but used 3 to bring out our best. He’d say, “If you pour water o n flowers, they flourish. If you don’t give them water, they die.” I 4 as a child I said something 5 about somebody, and my father said, “ 6 time you say something unpleasant about somebody else, it’s a reflection of you.” He explained that if I looked for the best 7 people, I would get the best 8 .
